Storage & Handling

Store refrigerated at 2–8°C.

For extended storage, keep frozen at −20°C.

Protect from moisture, excessive heat, and direct light.

After reconstitution, handle using appropriate laboratory procedures and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles whenever possible to help maintain sample integrity.

Choosing Research Grade NAD+

When evaluating Research Grade NAD+, consider factors beyond the stated purity.

Important considerations include:

• HPLC purity testing

• Batch consistency

• Product labeling

• Certificate of Analysis (COA) availability

• Manufacturing standards

• Appropriate storage recommendations

• Packaging integrity

These factors help support reliable laboratory workflows and reproducible research.
